Hi,
I wanted to prefix the results of a tags-todo agenda command with
scheduling information. But I can't seem to figure out the correct way
to do this. This is what I tried:
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("J" "Type1/Type2"
((tags-todo "CATEGORY=\"foo\"+type1"
((org-agenda-overriding-header "Type1")))
(tags-todo "CATEGORY=\"foo\"+type2"
((org-agenda-overriding-header "Type2"))))
((org-agenda-files (list "~/tmp/org/tasks.org"))
(org-agenda-prefix-format " % s")
(org-agenda-compact-blocks t)))))
With the attached Org file, the agenda buffer looks like this:
Type1
foo: TODO Item 1 :type1::
foo: TODO Item 3 :type1::
Type2
foo: TODO Item 8 :type2::
Anyone any thoughts? Actually I have wanted a view like "Timeline" for
many years for my agenda searches. Is that possible? That would be
even better.
Cheers,

org-agenda-prefix-format is an alist, not a string.

Forgot to mention in my earlier post, I tried that too! Something like
this:
(org-agenda-prefix-format '(tags " % s"))
Same result.

Although that's not the right form (it should be '((tags . " % s")) -
and according to the doc it should be the whole 5-element alist), you
are right: it does not make any difference. Also, internally, the string
form is accepted just as well as the alist form by
org-compile-prefix-format, so I was wrong about the alist vs string
distinction.
IIUC (do I?), you expect the format to produce the Deadline: or Scheduled:
prefixes that you get in the timeline. Unfortunately, that code is
completely separate from the code that gets executed here. In the
timeline, we go
org-timeline -> org-agenda-get-scheduled (or org-agenda-get-deadlines)
-> org-agenda-format-item("Scheduled: " ....)
with the first argument providing the appropriate prefix.
But with the custom agenda, we go a different way:
org-tags-view -> org-scan-tags -> org-agenda-format-item("" ...)
and org-scan-tags calls org-agenda-format-item with a hardwired empty
string for the "extra" argument - it does not matter that %s has been
specified in org-agenda-prefix-format. So I don't think you can do what
you want (again IIUC).
Presumably, stealing the code that calculates whether the entry should
get a scheduling prefix from org-agenda-get-scheduled and grafting it
into org-scan-tags would do the trick, but that's not the way things are
today.

Actually I went through these steps too! I am not too familiar with the
agenda code, so I wasn't sure whether I was understanding it correctly.

Hmm, I was hoping for the timeline like prefix, but even a normal prefix
as in the usual agenda ("Sched. 2x") would also have worked for me.

Thanks for clearly outlining the code path for me. Maybe if I find some
time, I'll hack around a bit.
Cheers,
